    You mean encapsulation? Encapsulation (or microencapsulation) is a method in which active ingredients can be contained in micelles or liposomes, which can provide extra stability or penetration for some ingredients like retinol.

    I have heard that fragrance is encapsulated in detergent powders.

    May be similar. this is used for ADAPALENE material  (retinol group).

    Ah, I see. I’ve never heard of encapsulated adapalene personally, but there is this study I found, which calls them adapalene TyroSpheres:

    Formulator Sample Shop also sells retinol liposomes.

    well actually ADAPALENE is drug, while RETINOL comes in Cosmetics.
    I think it’s a process that make  ADAPALENE more penetrating.
